CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
_ WARNING: The chain will be mow
ing during most of this procedure. Wear your
protective equipment and observe all safety
precautions. The chain must not move at idle
speed.
The carburetor has been carefully set at the
factory. Adjustments may be necessary if
you notice any of the following conditions:
• Chain moves at idle. See iDLE SPEED-T
adjusting procedure.
• Saw will not idle. See IDLE SPEED-T ad*
justing procedure.
Idle Speed-T
Allow engine to idle. If the chain moves, idle
is too fast. If the engine stalls, idle is too slow.
Adjust speed until engine runs without chain
movement (idle too fast) or stalling (idle too
slow). The idle speed screw is located in the
area above the primer bulb and is labeled T.
• Turn idle speed screw (T) clockwise to in-
crease engine speed.
• Turn idle speed screw (T) counterclock-
wise to decrease engine speed.
tf you require further assistance or are unsure
about performing this procedure, contact your
authorized service dealer or cal_
